Stanford Picks New Grant Proposal Submission Software

Stanford University has selected new software to
electronically submit federal grant
proposals.

Cayuse 424, from Evisions, is intended to simplify the work of creating and submitting federal
grant
proposals. An
SaaS (Software-as-a-Service) product for
cloud-based, automated completion and submission of federal grant
proposals, it
is delivered over a secure web connection.

Company
representatives said it is used to submit more than 15,000 higher
education grant proposals each year with an error-free rate of 99
percent for
first-time submissions.

The
software automatically submits proposals via Grants.gov, a single
access point for about 900 grant programs offered by the 26 federal grant-making
agencies, allowing organizations to electronically find and apply for
competitive grant opportunities.

It is an integrated component of Stanford's eRA
(electronic Research Administration) program, the IT infrastructure
that allows
it to administer all of its government and non-government grants.
Evisions can
update Cayuse 424 automatically when new functionalities appear on the
scene
without additional licensee fees, consultants or training required.

"It is our simple desire to remove barriers so
that the
research community can focus on its mission to advance knowledge and
make
meaningful contributions to the world," said Evisions President Matt
McLellan. "We
also recognize that not all institutions require our full product
suite. Larger
clients are able to leverage our Cayuse 424 module to make proposal
development,
validation and submissions to Grants.gov easier and improve data
integrity
using a modern SaaS solution."
